Checklist To Reduce Burden On Sites And Patients

By Stuart Cotter, Vice President of Product Management

The relationship between sponsors and sites is crucial for the success of clinical trials. However, several challenges can create burdens for sites, such as the complexity of trials, limited availability of site staff, and methods of engaging with patients. It is also important to note that every site is different, which requires unique evaluation and engagement to define efficient collaboration and workflows. By addressing the areas that inspire issues and focusing on centralizing, connecting, and simplifying processes, sponsors can improve the clinical trial experience for all involved.

To alleviate these burdens, sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) need to understand the specific needs of each site and find ways to make collaboration more efficient. Leveraging technology and training for data collection and patient engagement that is already in place at sites can also help reduce burdens.

By overcoming site challenges, discover how sponsors can enhance collaboration, improve trial efficiency, and ultimately accelerate the development of new treatments and therapies.
